Eliezer Alfonzo is a safer bet to put the ball in play tonight than he usually is, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 0% of the time against the kind of pitches Chase Burns throws, compared with 7% against everyone else — 7 points better. The reason is the four-seam fb: Chase Burns throws it 56% of the time, and Eliezer Alfonzo strikes out 0% of the time against it across 8 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 56% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
